They were very lucky to get away without it blowing up on them in a close game.

jaba166

Yet it ended up working out pretty well.

I hope that was TIC

In his defense, the commentators said when they turned the ball back over

Worst call in BYU football history

10/20/16 10:37pm

FG attempt on 2&10 from the 34 with 15 seconds left? With a kicker who's long is

jvquarterback

10/21/16 11:42am

Actually I think it was a lack of confidence in the Oline. They were out of

CosmosCuzzn

10/21/16 11:53am

Last time I checked there were 11 players on a team that could do something to mess a play and take us out of FG range

Rhino84

10/21/16 11:53am

not sure why everyone is so upset about the field goal with 15 seconds left? A

Exactly 1 play w/ a penalty the game is over w/ out Time outs. Remember AZ?

Bobmarleyjr

10/21/16 1:47pm

wonder if it was "if you see x, fake it"

BlueBlood

10/20/16 10:37pm

if x=all 11 on the other team being struck by lightning and dying all at once

Are we sure it was KS? Not the first time Linehan had done that.

IGlowInTheDark

10/20/16 10:38pm

Yes. From Kalanis own mouth.

JAGA97

10/20/16 10:39pm

But are we sure Kilani wasn't lying to protect Linehan? I promise he wasn't.

marklar39

10/20/16 10:44pm

Came after a timeout with a clear blocking scheme. Called play.

Michicoug

10/21/16 7:45am

And biggest head scratcher I can remember.

Michicoug

10/21/16 7:46am

Just said again they thought they had what they wanted and Boise switched at last second.

Rhino84

10/21/16 1:11am

Still not a call I would have made.

Linehan told reporter at halftime he knew the fake was going to be called at

Wear Blue

10/21/16 1:40am

He didn't think it would be called from 100 yards.

Kougrage

10/21/16 2:03am

Thanks! LOL

Wear Blue

10/21/16 2:03am

Linehan should have called timeout and said, "I won't do this play. You can kick

Kougrage

10/21/16 2:07am

Oh, if it wasn't 2:07 am, you'd get roasted for this...

marklar39

10/21/16 2:15am

Dumbest play call in football history? Oh brother...

DNPcoug

10/21/16 3:02am

However you define it, it was bad.

Cougstreak

10/21/16 7:16am

Ok I'll play... name a call that was dumber.

Agaricus

10/21/16 9:05am

I offered up a pretty good one, below. Debatable, of course, but one actually

PGVikingDad

10/21/16 9:12am

Yea I saw that. I don't disagree with you,

Agaricus

10/21/16 9:21am

I was in shock, especially since it was obviously a called play.

PGVikingDad

10/21/16 11:12am

Inconceivable!

Wear Blue

10/21/16 12:22pm

In all seriousness, can you think of a dumber pay you've seen. I can't.

nitroboy

10/21/16 1:49am

Doesn't Detmer make the offensive calls?

Woodstrider

10/21/16 5:56am

Yep

nitroboy

10/21/16 6:01am

But that was a special teams call

Wear Blue

10/21/16 10:30am

The head coach has the responsibility to say, "No way in BLEEEP we do this."

Kougrage

10/21/16 2:17am

You don't fake punt from the end zone without a thumbs up from the head coach.

Abe Froman

He has the utmost confidence in his team... maybe to a fault? Ahem, Taysom as QB

LumberCoug

10/21/16 12:38am

What in the world were they thinking?

Cougrrrs Roll

10/21/16 12:48am

Jim McMahon would have said, "Bleeeep the coaches. I'm not going to be a part of

Kougrage

10/21/16 2:24am

And Jim McMahon is also one of the most punk rocking QBs in history.

Angel's Trumpet

10/21/16 3:12am

McMahon wouldn't have been in on that play anyway. Linehan shldv jst kicked it

sah22

10/21/16 1:55pm

McMahon was also the punter.

Kougrage

10/21/16 3:06pm

under no scenario is that ever a good play call.

Tuskaloosa Cougar

10/21/16 12:48am

It was embarrassing

CosmosCuzzn

10/21/16 12:49am

Nope. Bronco calling for a punt with 5 minutes left while down

PGVikingDad

10/21/16 12:55am

Wisconsin game?

Chazz Reinhold

10/21/16 12:58am

If BSU scores, then your evaluation of how bad the that was was would majorly

BYUHgrad

10/21/16 12:20pm

Not really. One call had the potential to impact the outcome, while the other

PGVikingDad

10/21/16 1:29pm

Agree, fortunately it didn't cost BYU any points as the kicker missed the FG

Chazz Reinhold

10/21/16 12:56am

Only thanks to the BSU guy for getting the stupid penalty

Cougrrrs Roll

10/21/16 9:21am

If Lamar Jackson was our punter and the other team only had 7 players

Ulysses14

10/21/16 6:00am

I like Kalani too, but that was just flat out idiotic.

eddog

10/21/16 6:32am

One huge problem with the call...other than kicking from your end zone...

Bonoman

10/21/16 7:38am

Worst call in the history of worst calls. It should be openly mocked on ESPN

Bleacher Report and ESPN are all over it

Tuskaloosa Cougar

10/21/16 9:08am

It was executed like they had never practiced it before.

6th-Kamikaze-mission

10/21/16 9:55am

They had practiced it a lot. Heard this from a reliable source.

Pigskin Pete

10/21/16 2:20pm

More is the shame in how it was executed.

6th-Kamikaze-mission

Worst play call in BYU history

Jericho

10/21/16 1:09pm

Fireable offense

caretoomuch

10/21/16 2:30pm

No single play is enough to be fired over... and I think it was the worst play
